TIMTOWTDI: you can use the Smartmatch Operator, grep for the value, or just use the old plain loop:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

use Test::More;

my @checks = (
    sub {
        my ($entity, @array) = @_;
        $entity ~~ @array;
    },

    sub {
        my ($entity, @array) = @_;
        grep $entity eq $_, @array;
    },

    sub {
        my ($entity, @array) = @_;
        for (@array) {
            return 1 if $entity eq $_;
        }
        return;
    },
);

for my $check (@checks) {
    ok     $check->('b', qw(a b c));
    ok not $check->('z', qw(a b c));
}

done_testing();

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
